介绍（中）	切尔西凯拉米克艺术作品是第一家将自己指定为"艺术陶器"的美国陶瓷公司。它由罗伯逊家族的成员在马萨诸塞州切尔西创立，他们在来到这个国家之前都在英国的陶瓷行业磨练了自己的技能。该公司的早期专长是复制由查尔斯洛克东湖等英国时尚人士制造的古希腊陶器。特别受欢迎的 I 美国是 1876 年在费城百年纪念展览会上展出的希腊风格商品，由哥本哈根 P. Ipsens Enke 公司展出。切尔西丰富的红土特别适合希腊设计。这个精美的盆栽红器罐复制了一个著名的金属罐，该投手在庞贝城出土，当时经常被复制用于旅游贸易。切尔西用红浓汤（2018.294.23）和釉面版本诠释了这种形式，比如这个例子。它不仅复制了罗马模型的基本血管形状，更具体地说，复制了手柄顶部完全建模的海马体的前部和下端的面罩。这个投手来自2017年和2018年捐赠给大都会博物馆的美国艺术陶器小罗伯特·A·埃里森收藏。收藏中的作品可以追溯到 1870 年代中期至 1950 年代。它们共同构成了已知最全面和最重要的材料组合之一。
介绍（英）	The Chelsea Keramic Art Works was the first American ceramics firm to designate itself an "art pottery." It was founded in Chelsea, Massachusetts, by members of the Robertson family, all of whom had honed their skills in the ceramics industry in Britain before coming to this country. An early specialty of the firm was the reproduction of Ancient Greek pottery made fashionable by such English tastemakers as Charles Locke Eastlake. Especially well-received I the United Sates were the Greek style wares exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia by the Copenhagen firm of P. Ipsens Enke. Chelsea's rich red clay was particularly well suited to Greek designs. This finely potted redware pitcher copies a well-known metal pitcher that had been excavated at Pompeii and was frequently reproduced at the time for the tourist trade. Chelsea interpreted the form in red bisque (2018.294.23) and glazed versions, such as this example. It copies the Roman model not only the basic vessel shape but also, more specifically, the forepart of a fully modeled hippocampus at the top of the handle and a mask at the lower terminal. Thispitcher is from the Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection of American art pottery donated to the Metropolitan Museum in 2017 and 2018. The works in the collection date from the mid-1870s through the 1950s. Together they comprise one of the most comprehensive and important assemblages of this material known.
